If you are in the 60's I don't think there is much point in taking it again, regardless the community. If you are non-select, I wouldn't imagine it is because of your ASTB scores.

I'm a ROTC student. My XO said I did great and shouldn't be worried... about the scores at least. I have a peer who is now an ensign that told me to be "ecstatic."

Pro-rec'd INTEL!!!!!
Well in that case, you're in even better shape. If I'm not mistaken, ROTC students don't need to score as high as OCS applicants have to, and your scores are higher than many OCS applicants. So ya... I'd say leave it at that, and be very happy with it

5/6/5 on ASTB
3.1 GPA
What do you think my shot for getting a pilot slot is. I am about to be a senior in an ROTC unit.

Welcome, Chris.
No one is allowed to answer specific questions about any form, but we will be able to answer general questions...
Chris, Vx (V sub x) could be a general reference to voltage, if that was a circuit/electricity problem, or could also have been velocity in the 'x' direction depending on the context. If you're just looking at the sample tests for some of this, we can absolutely help out...just would need to know what you're looking at.
No one has books that give the answers to questions on any of the official ASTB forms currently in use (3, 4, 5). In fact, forms 1 and 2 were retired several years ago after the answers were leaked. However, there are several references published that have sample ASTB tests, and good study materials for the content on the ASTB.
A lot of these resources are maintained by forum member mmx1 here:

Commonly cited study materials are the "Marine Gouge" along with the "Mechanical Gouge".
There are two published books that have ASTB study guides and sample tests:
ARCO Military Flight Aptitude Tests (PDF)
Barron's Military Flight Aptitude Tests
These sample tests are generally modeled after the material that is on the current form of the ASTB (with the exception that the actual ASTB no longer contains the Biological Inventory (BI) portion).

Vx most likely references climb velocity of an aircraft. I can't remember, however, which climb velocity it is, though (maximum altitude over horizontal distance?).
I just took the ASTB and used the Barron's review book. My score break down is as follows:
AQR -- 6
PFAR -- 7
FOFAR -- 7
OAR -- 53
The review book definitely helped even though I found printing errors in it. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for good review material. Thank you to everyone for your help along the way.

Vx on the ASTB is refering to "Best Angle of Climb". This is an airspeed that gives an aircraft the most climb over the shortest distance which is great for climbing over an obstacle without going splat.

I have a question: I'm taking the ASTB in two weeks. I remember my recruiter saying something about if you're applying for Intel, you have to take some of the other sections of the test besides the basic 3 that make up the OAR. However, he has not been helpful at all- I emailed him to ask what those other sections are so I can study for them, but he hasn't answered yet and I HAVE to buckle down on those! Does anyone know?
